9 bolt gears!?!!?

I'm looking for 4.11 gears for a 9 bolt, saw a pair on 9bolt.com but they were sold. Does anyone know a supplier that sells these? Thanks.

You will have a better chance of finding ice water in Hell then that gear set for a 9-Bolt.

Yeah, I've seen that site. It's the highest set i've found for retail so far, still hoping for my white whale.

hahahahahaha dont waste your time with the 9 bolts. OMG they are so bad. I just swapped out my rear end with another 9 bolt cuz i blew mine out - now 2 weeks later - blew this one out too. ( bolt ausi disc rear ends are impossible to get parts for - and if you do find em, they cost 3x more than what it would cost on a 10 bolt. Good luck rebuilding one. why not go wth a ford 9"???

Maybe because 9" eat your wallet out for dinner for the next year and a half. I'm a college student whose not gonna pay more than what I paid for my car for a little part. Maybe in a few years, but not now. Besides I found an *** load of 4.1* and 3.9* gears for almost same price as 10 bolt gears. Thanks for help though.

not a buttload but they said they have 3 or 4 of each. It's in Austrailia and they want a lot for shipping. I'll post the place here once I get enough money for a set of my own.

That sucks.

Pretty poor generalization though, there are plenty of people running very low 60fts on stock 9 bolts.

Most of the time they can take plenty of abuse.

Poor info about 9-bolt rears, read up about them. And any mechanical part will break if you abuse.
